Apparently reeling from her death, her protection officer David Budd (Richard Madden) attempted to take his own life.

But Good Morning Britain host Piers thinks Keeley’s character is actually very much alive – believing it was a ruse to draw out the person who detonated the bomb.

Discussing his theory on today’s show, he said: “You can’t kill Keeley Hawes with two episodes to go.”

Richard Arnold pointed out that Keeley’s name is listed in all six of the episodes, suggesting we will see her again.

As Charlotte Hawkins put her fingers in her ears, Piers continued: “When he went to blow his brains out, it was blanks.

“Somebody would have known that when he heard the news of her being killed, he might take his own life. She [Julia] knew. She did that. She fixed it for those bullets to be switched.

“That’s my theory! I think she’s still alive. They’ve had so many terror attacks they’re trying to flush out the Mr Bigs, or the Mrs Bigs, or the gender fluid Bigs. And they’re trying to get them out and this is what they’re doing it.”

“It’s a fake death!”
